I have forum on www.domain.com can i change it to www.domain.com/forum?

[Sam1985]

I need to make a homepage for the site.
I installed the forum on the root thinking that my site does not need a homepage and I will modifiy the .httaccess if anything.
Now It's not easy since I have vbseo installed.

In any case I don't care so much that It can be done, but I want to have the forum in
www.domain.com/forum instead being on the root of the site.


Can i just move all the files to a folder called forum? or will this make a mess of things?
What is the proper way of doing it?

Thanks

I think it's easy :

1. Move files to /forum/
2. Go to admincp and change "vBulletin Options" and "Styles" ( if there is absolut links, you must add /forum/ )

I hope i helped you

I have not done it yet.

anyone else have a say on this?

I tried this last night myself, its pretty easy. Just download the entire folder
And then then reupload it to the new folder. Back up your database just in case, and good luck.

Hi you can redirect your link trought one index.php. I send you one file to redirect. Regards

Put this on your home root.
